Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a homeschool “pioneer” nearly forty years ago? Have you ever scratched your head and marveled at how someone could homeschool for three or more decades? Do you ever wish you had an older mama to tell you all the things she did right, wrong, or in between? Then look no more! You have found all of that in Donna Reish’s (aka language arts lady’s) “Our Homeschool History.” A chronological look in ten-minute, bite-sized audios (and videos at YouTube/Instagram) of what our family learned and did during our thirty-two years of homeschooling and home growing our seven children. https://www.languageartsladyblog.com/ourhomeschoolhistory

#3: Homeschooling My Younger Sister!

Friday Dec 30, 2022

Welcome to Episode #3 of Our Homeschool History.

This episode delves more deeply into our first year of homeschooling—when I was twenty years old; was married for a year and a half; had a one-year-old toddler; had just graduated from Ball State University with an elementary education degree; and more:

My young age of beginning homeschooling as a twenty-year-old teaching my eighth grade sister
How I was thrusted into homeschool leadership as a twenty-year-old---teacher/covering for Ohio homeschoolers; vendor at the first Indiana homeschool convention; taught others about homeschooling
The summer I read ten homeschool books, and we began going to homeschool conventions and seminars
Meeting Dr. Raymond Moore, the founder of Christian homeschooling
Using one of the first curricula available early on—Home Grown Kids by Dr. Raymond Moore
A tailored curriculum to Lisa’s level in each subject
Back to the basics
Reading a few times a day: silent reading at her silent reading level; oral reading at her learning level; read aloud by me at her listening level
Focusing on taking her out of her comfort zone to help her become more social, self-
assured, etc.
Super successful year in which she went from second grade reading level to sixth grade reading level

I have so much to share with you about our thirty-two years of homeschooling!

I want so many great things for you and your students!
